Hi Cygne18 - I am an 'advocate of hand wash' for my silks :wave: .. maybe you can do a search around here for ideas/guidance. Personally the stains I came across are usually makeup e.g. foundations or powder and these came off easily.
Enjoy your new Epices, I have mine in a frame and given to my DIL for her dining area.

Thank you, @lyseiki8! I believe the stain is ink so I may need something stronger. I will poke around in the threads for advice. [emoji18]

How nice of you to gift your DIL your Epices, framed. I bet it looks fabulous. What colorway is it? [emoji2]

Thank you, @MYH! :heart:

Yes, I went back to TheRealReal.com and complained and they gave me a $25 credit, which was nice of them. I will apply that cost to the dry cleaners. Heh! If I decide to take it to the dry cleaners. I'm worried they will ruin or lose it. :smile:

I managed to find the orange/navy CW you have. I don't have it in hand yet as its being shipped from Japan. I have another one that I will tell you about soon as soon I get in it in hand that has animals on it. :nuts: I'm glad your little sis decided that the Bateau is a good one too.

No more shopping for me. I am banning myself and saving up for the holidays. I just bought the Mors ring yesterday and I. Am. Done. (for now)

I hope you have good luck in getting rid of the stain.

It is the same cw and the 'problem' with me is I like to frame my silks and my son and daughter and their better halves are telling me "no more, no more". I hope the above links will help in some way .. I used Dawn once on a food stain and it disappeared after that.

Thank you, @lyseiki8! So kind of you to post here. [emoji7] Will definitely look into these for some good suggestions.

Your family is so lucky to have a generous loved one who wants to gift wearable, framed art to them. There can never be enough! Heehee.

Hi, dear @MYH! I don't have any that I'm particularly going ga ga over. As a new collector, I am trying to find colors that flatter myself and my wardrobe and because I like animals, food and funny and whimsical designs, anything with these themes is good for me. In addition, you guys are a huge inspiration! I picked up a cool Au Pays des Epices on TheRealReal.com and it's gorgeeous (despite what appears to be a small ink stain on the back :doh: that wasn't noted in the description and I'm wondering if it's worth taking to the dry cleaners). I can't believe what a cool scarf it is. I also have the Bateau Fleuri because the colors are just outstanding (gold/blue/orange) and really perfect for fall and my fairly monotone fall/winter wardrobe. I first saw it on Miss @Pocketbook Pup and it looked fantastic on her.

I do not consider you guys "moldy oldies!" More like, H goddesses to look up to and learn from.

I picked up the beautiful Sous le Cedre the other evening that you so lovingly profiled in this thread, @MYH, so I hope it looks as awesome on me as it does on you. :blush: Again, thank you for all of the help and guidance. Wouldn't have made it this far without reading everything everyone has to offer in this thread. I love the stories and the photos.

MYH, I must say I love your thread and enjoy reading all about the "how's and why's" of your collection!! You have most certainly inspired a few of my purchases!

Going back to the topic of Twilly storage, I also had a hard time figuring out where to put these guys and, like you, my collection grew well past the point of having to look inside each box to find the one(s) I was looking for.

Then a member here posted a pic of how she stores her Twillys in a Muji acrylic box and I fell madly in love with the idea. It took me a while to get around to purchasing the boxes and now I have completely forgotten who posted the idea. I hate that I can't give the proper credit. Thank you, who ever you are!!!

Anyway, the day I bought these, the site was having a sale, so I ended up grabbing a couple of other boxes as well. You may recognize a few things in one of the drawers!! [emoji6]

Here's how I store my Twillys, charms, and other small "trinkets". IMG_1478910324.669476.jpgIMG_1478910344.438732.jpg

Please excuse all the scarves laid out, I was doing a "family portrait" for inventory and insurance ((knocks on wood)))purposes!

ETA: I can get 4 Twillys per drawer comfortably, 6 if I squish them. However, I decided to grab a second box so I have room to grow. [emoji849][emoji4]

StyleEyes, do you know what size the container is where you have your scarf rings and other "trinkets" stored?? I've been trying to find drawers like these but can't seem to find the right size! And I love how you've stored your twillies too. :)

Hi Nicole0612 - the origami bagcharm is not a Petit H item. I actually made it myself. :biggrin: OK, maybe this weekend, I will find some time to find the ornaments in my garage. Stay tuned.

You could knock me over with a feather right now! You made the origami bag charm yourself?! I am floored by your talent and creativity.
Complete WOW.
Now I am looking forward to the origami close ups even more. Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us.

Circling back to origami - my Cocottes scarf - seems like there are many of us here that have a "thing" for origami. How wonderful!!! It's still to hot where I live to wear scarves - it was 90 degree F yesterday. No kidding.

So at the moment, I can only plan on what accessories and tops I will wear with my new cocottes scarf. Taking a cue from the colors in this scarf, I thought Malachite/Mustard/Blue would look nice together. So I busted out my malachite kelly and some mustard accessories and came up with this. Also, the beauty of this scarf isn't just the design in the middle but also the contrast hem and graphic border edge. The edges of a scarf are so important. And also, back in 2009 - I don't think Hermes did too many contrast hems so I think this one is really special. I love that sea-green color of the hem. These days - contrast hems are almost a given.
And Depending on how I tie the scarf, I may or may not wear a necklace. But I threw all my accessories into this photo as options.

Oh my gosh, MYH! I love the twilly idea. Off to the craft store!

I have to laugh again at your "Cocotte" scarf and its alternate meaning as this morning I am getting ready to don my Aux Porte du Palais CSGM and smack in the middle is a half naked lady! GAH! Hope I haven't been parading her around the office the last time I wore it.
